Hey Stackers!

I visited a town in peru that is desperately poor because I’ve heard that they were adopting Bitcoin. The stories they shared and the use of Bitcoin surprised and shocked me.

I hope you enjoy the slower pace this video, which hopefully allows more space for the deeper topics that I explored.

Equally, I hope it inspires you to do more With Bitcoin to demonstrate that Bitcoin is not just for the privilege few.

Love and sats! Joe

These stories are more important than the ETF in mho

Definitely

Did you meet anyone running a full verification node or LN channel?

reply

In Lima, yes. In this place hell no 🤣

Training how to run a node is a great way to learn a lot more about Bitcoin and to verify their on chain transactions. Might be something Motiv would be motivated to teach.

reply

Yeah I think it’s a question of priorities

I hear you. I won't belabor the point, but running at least one node in Bitcoin Town™ makes a lot of sense to me. A great way to teach the next generation about the technology of Bitcoin at the foundational level.

And overall, it was a lovely video and really appreciate your exploration there. I look forward to more of your work. Cheers!

I have lived in Peru for a few years, and there are really many districts this poor where they do not have access to water or electricity. I had no idea that in Carabayllo there is an area where they trade with bitcoin, I have not yet met anyone here who I know about this topic. Thanks for sharing

A country so rich, but yet poor. All presidents ended up in prison. They need a Milei and get f.cking socialims out of their heads.
